why not just book a flight and then a hotel...flights to malaga, faro or majorca then check out the hotels on trip advisor and book a transfer......any idea where you'd like to go ?

You have 2 options. You can book cheap flights with the likes of EasyJet and find a hotel yourself or you can use a travel agent or similar to get a package. I know this won't help you personally but when we were getting married we priced up flights on the Continental website and the hotels directly and also via comparison type sites. It actually worked out cheaper to book all the flights and the honeymoon hotel as a package through the travel agent than we could do ourselves.

One place I wouldn't advise though is the First Choice Holiday Village in the Algarve. We had a week there and would never go back. Each to their own but the food was horrible, the all inclusive was a rip-off as we ended up eating out every evening and buying snacks in the supermarket to keep us going during the day and there wasn't much to do in the local area so we paid the taxi drivers salaries that month!

Hi try:

http://www.a1travel.com/
http://www.lowcostholidays.com/
http://www.travelvalue.co.uk/
http://www.travelrepublic.co.uk/

or try teletext holidays

or as someone has said just book your flights first then book hotel separately, if you go onto this website:

http://www.skyscanner.net/ this will tell you where you can fly to direct from belfast and then will give you the option of indirect flights, also I find https://www.yeego.com an excellent website for booking hotels and resorthoppa good for transfers.

Good luck and lucky you for getting a holiday in the autumn

Also https://www.sunshine.co.uk, used them a few times to put a package together

If you book your flights directly with cheap airline (easyjet, jet2 etc) then try www.alpharooms.com for accommodation - we've holidayed in Majorca last 3 years doing it this way and have paid no more than £600 altogether for flights and accom in total for all three of us!! (2 adults one child like you).

Interesting reading this thread - those of you who have booked your own flight, hotel, transfers - would you recommend this way over taking a package through travel agent??
We have 3 kids and works out to be hundreds of pounds cheaper to diy ...

we always book fights separately and in fact next week we go to majorca £1000 5 adults ,falcon , same apts same week £2700 do the maths also remember if you get a late or early flight you can always book an extra night so your not put out at 12.00 wont cost that much more got luck

i used expedia to book a 9 day holiday to majorca in a well rated apartment for £233 including coach transfers. I also liked the search engine which allows you to select any resort any where and an earliest departure / latest return function.
